If you hire a competent house inspector and you hire a lawyer to check the purchase agreement and do the title exam do you actually need a realtor for anything?

Tl;dr Home inspection is fake and gay.

I'll comment that my home inspector was supposed to be the leading firm and the result sucked. - you'll want to fix this but I won't provide estimates - all this stuff is not to current code because your house was built in the past. - the document looked impressive but was content free

If I did that again I would... - hire a roofer to inspect the roof and provide an estimate for any correction - hire an HVAC company to inspect and provide a quote for any needed work - hire a plumber to inspect sewer, hot water heater, check for leaks and make a quote. Check the gas too. - maybe do the same for electrical - do the same for foundation if you have any questions

Home inspection is a racket. This would cost about the same and you would have actual information about home purchase risks. Have a pro look at major systems and give you a quote.

Home inspectors are paid to find shit. Leave low hanging fruit.

They spout code they were trained on, that may or may not apply at the local the home is at. Usually in the county out of City there is minimal code for anything in Texas and other states.

They only quote the latest code. Like fucking arc fault breakers. “Needs total rewire” get fucked. The house is 30 years old, Does not require and hasn’t burned down or killed anyone. Fuck off lear the code.

What should happen is for every sale that falls through due to an inspectors report due the fuck out of the inspector and their company. Then maybe they will not be so zealot about shit and Lear the code.

Then apply the code to that home that was required when it was built.

No in most states, can’t speak about commie lands.

Texas, fill out the form and do it. Buyer can pick title company. Pick one you trust to do the title discovery.

Save the 3% out of the 6% total to real estate jews.

I’ve bought and sold a dozen properties without a realtor and sold one property to a couple with a realtor. It cost them 3 1/2% on top of my asking price and the guy did nothing but play middleman. But I always use a title company

Depends on state law, I would imagine.

That being said, even in Commiefornia, we managed to buy a rental house outright without either party having a realtor, or one piece of paper signed. Owner to owner executed. Original owner had no note, we weren't financing. So again, I would say, depends on the state and the finances involved. Of course we did a title search and some inspections, but generally the easiest and cleanest real estate transaction we've ever executed.
